@Blandco
@Blandco 5 лет назад
If you are on a budget I would just go with the free basic rules on the wizards website (And maybe find a way to print it for free or cheap at college) and/or the red starter set if you can get it for a good price. You can usually get an extra dice set at a gaming store for $5. This is a fun set that comes with a lot of nice extras but might not be worth the $25-$30 if you are on a strict budget.

Thanks for the uboxing, Blandco. This is definitely an upgrade compared to previous version of the Starter Set. But... 'Only 9 sidekicks', really? I think 9 is more than enough, given that a lot of groups won't even use those.

The sidekick cards are just the personalities/backgrounds with a picture. There's technically only 3 (kind of 4) different sidekicks that are categorized as Expert (roguish), Spellcaster (healer or mage, either or so technically there's 4 kinds of sidekicks), Warrior (Fighter) with very dumbed down standard leveling up guidelines and pre-selections to make playing the sidekick extremely easy. I actually very much like how it's all setup and can't wait to try it out when I get a chance to with possibly a smaller group. The quests are very much setup like a video game so would be a nice transition for getting PC/console gamers to try it out.

Thanx for showing it. It's nice they give all those dice including Advantage Disadvantage d20's and (4) d6 to roll for Character abilities the old fashioned way. They remind me of couch drops though. I hope that doesn't ruin it for anyone ; ) Adding percentile dice is interesting. The new Jaws board game uses translucent ruble red or blood red dice also. to be fair I haven't seen them in person yet. fwiw those two games are being sold side-by-side at Target.
@jordanbeard6687
@jordanbeard6687 5 лет назад
So while I agree this is probably cool, and worth the money, is anyone else disappointed that none of these starter sets or essentials sets has the full DM's handbook in them? Back, and I mean waaaay back, I think it was 2nd ed, they had a starter set box that came with the DM's Guide in it along with a pair of adventure modules, a screen, and if I recall correctly dice. And the coolest part was that it cost $1 more than just the DM's Guide alone. I keep looking for something like that from them for 5e.
@Blandco
@Blandco 5 лет назад
I believe that the 3 book set was their main offering for a total package. But yeah it's a bit odd. You can run a game just with the Player's Handbook so I think including the 50% off coupon of the PH ebook is how they tried to do a modern spin on that idea.
@dark_dar
@dark_dar 5 лет назад
I think the costs of printing are higher now plus they sell DM book separately at $25, so if they included it they would have had to raise the price of the box significantly.
@jordanbeard6687
@jordanbeard6687 5 лет назад
@@dark_dar Yeah, no doubt costs have increased. I just wish they'd offer something like that. The DM's guide, 1 adventure, a screen, maybe a set of dice. They market the DM's Handbook for $33 currently. Make the pack $35 - $40. Based on how much markup they have on their products, it would still be a massive money maker for them.
@mr.frisky1323
@mr.frisky1323 5 лет назад
My only complaint is the DM screen info is a bit light. With the cards showing the conditions why waste so much space on redundant info. Probably been mentioned but in addition to the 50% for the PHB this box comes with a code for the digital version of the adventure at Dndbeyond (which I hope they continue doing moving forward.

I honestly think running your own adventures ist more fun. I would get the Basic Rules/ free PDF Versions of PHB, MM and DMG First and then buy them later when you think you want to stay with dnd. Seems a bit expensive at First, but it is a one time investment. Also Check Out dndbeyond, that makes Charakter creation and looking stuff Up much easier. I have all my books there. You can also Share all books with your Players there so your group only hast to Play for one book

Not a fan of Hasbro D&D rules (pick an edition post 2nd and that's the one I'm talking about) but this is still a very nice box set considering everything that comes with it and the price is quite good for the contents. I might pick it up anyway for the dice, map, item cards, and adventure since conversion to older rulesets is pretty easy to do. I'd rather D&D continue in the form it is and have to convert, than not have it exist at all which of course means supporting through purchase. I might not be looking into buying rulebooks but supplements/adventures are always useful. Another excellent video from Blandco!

Honestly depends if you think the cards and the one on one rules are worth it. The DM screen is nice looking but it's just laminate thin cardboard and not proper sturdy material. If you are interested in continuing the adventure in the same area as the Starter set then that would be a big plus.

According to Chris Perkins, one of the reasons they created them was to make it easier for one-on-one play, i.e. the DM and one player. Sidekicks can be either run by the DM or the player, and allow them to survive longer than they would just by themselves.
